One word: AWESOME!!

I used this and it helped me immensely in being able to have a ****load of tables open on my 3 year old machine, while using HEM and Camtasia at the same time.

I also linked to this guide on my blog. Thank you again!

I rarely read on 2+2, but just found this thread and must say your guide is really awesome!

I got a question though, if you don't mind:
I'm considering to buy Windows7 atm, but I'm not sure which version I need, is the cheapest edition perfectly fine for me or will I miss out alot of important features? Also do you have any idea if its possible to buy combined version with both 32bit & 64bit (as I have a 64bit computer and a 32bit laptop)

Thanks in advance

OMG..had pc for 4 years after these tweaks works faster than when it was new.Had 42prosseses no wonder everything so laggy.
Really good thread and forum learnt more here in a day about pcs than 4 years worth O.S.D. button clicking.
T.Y. Funky.

How is the windows 7 tweak update coming along ?

Regarding Thunderbird - I had folders set up in Gmail and used the settings you recommended here but now I just have all messages from my folders in my 'Inbox' in Thunderbird.

Is there a way to easily get them back into the correct folders? Would using IMAP keep my folders? Are there any settings/adjustments that need to be made when setting up Thunderbird?

Such an awesome thread. Thank you.

Bump, awesome guide. Can't wait for w7 version!

Microsoft Security Essentials did ~as good as Kaspersky and other top 3 to 5 payed-for antiviruses on some thorough tests from this fall-winter i saw on the web.

Good read, i work in IT + still learnt a bunch!

Funky do you like this program better then say cam studio or camtasia or is this just the one you are use to? Do you find it easy to use?

It's better than CamStudio but not as good as Camtasia. I just used it because it was free. I use Camtasia now.

+ make sure u guys disable NetBIOS and also close port 445

Make sure your source is reliable before you start tweaking Windows.

what do you mean?!

Thanks for the help!

need a laptop anyway...

i love you funkyworms for doing this. Would be great with article also since videos are so slow but ofc that takes alot more effort

also looking forward to Win7 series but im not sure if my computer is good enough for Win7-
I have 2gb ram and Intel Core Duo Quad 2.33ghz

I'll thank you in this thread aswell

I have just installed HEM and just to check the speed had it display ~100k hands in the reports tab. It crashed on me (and took Firefox down with it). I got an error message about not enough virtual memory. I believe I have 2GB of RAM. At least dxdiag says it's 2046MB. I did change the virtual memory values to 400-400 according to your tutorial.

Does this have anything to do with that? Should I increase the values?

funkyworms please please please make a w7 update version!


This is from 2009! How much about the programs and things is still relevant?

bump even though XP

Hopefully someone can help what happen is I had a bunch of desktop icons that I would just manualy drag and place them how I wanted them so they started to get cluttered so I right clicked desktop arrange icons by name and some but not all are missing now they seemed to be running off the right side of the screen I saw one letter sticking out of a icon that was missing so I was able to drag it out of the side of the screen but the rest I can't see at all as the are completely out of sight I have tried everything I know to get them back. Also if I click on the toolbar desktop on the bottom right when I click on it the window comes up and all the icons are still there but just not on my desktop please can anyone help to retrieve my icons?

windows 7 isnt much different than the rest. just gotta find a way to get to the same places.

you might be able adjust to the screen resolution to larger to find them or use the "set to grid" function.
